Luis Lamas left Oregon out of fear.
“I don’t want to find out if they’re going to put me in a detention center or if I’m going to live so many more years [here] and be told, you know what, no, you have to go back to your country,” he said in Spanish.

Lamas is among a growing number of people choosing to leave the U.S. out of fear of arrest or detention, as the Trump administration has promised to arrest or deport anyone without lawful status. Immigrants with lawful status have also been detained.
In this week’s episode of “The Evergreen,” OPB reporter Alejandro Figueroa chronicles the journey of Luis Lamas, a Mexican immigrant who once called Woodburn home.
